Dominoes Anyone
outside getting ready for the high winds and rain. Friday night we went with the boys to the high school football game. The wind started picking up while we were at the game, so we definitely figured we would be getting our share of this enormous hurricane. Saturday morning we got up to what I would call breezy morning with an overcast sky. By now we should have been getting poured on. We checked the news to find out that the hurricane had turned more north. For the folks along the coast line it was not a good scene. For us it meant not even a drop of rain. Laura and I were left with no other choice other than sitting on the back deck playing dominoes and drinking cocktails all afternoon. Sunday was another day of kicking back. We put all of the outdoor furniture back out since it didn't look like we were going to get high winds from the hurricane. Then we went to Home Depot and picked up 3 Queen Palm trees and planted them along the pool. Looks like it is time for another cocktail. Cheers!

From One Island to Another
We got back into Houston just after noon and headed back to Austin. We stopped in Brenham and had some lunch at Casa Ole. We both got the Cozumel plate, I mean come on, would we have gotten anything else?! When we got home Laura got a big surprise. Brian Ritter, of Protective Coating and Remodeling had a new Island installed in the kitchen while we were gone. Before we left Brian and I had it all planned out, so that Laura would come home to a big surprise. And was she ever surprised. She absolutely loved it. They did an awesome job on it. With our incredible new addition to the house our old island seemed so small since we had so much extra room in our kitchen. If I haven't said it enough through the whole building process, Protective Coating and Remodeling has done an AWESOME job. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening around our own paradise hanging out in the pool and hot tub. It was like we were still in Mexico, other than we had to get our own cocktails. We do miss our bartender, Hillario. Cheers!

Just Another Week in Paradise Night 7
We met up at the bar with our great new friends from Germany, Carsten and Peyman. Carsten is a Financier. He currently lives in Switzerland and is taking some time off to travel. Peyman is a dentist and lives in Wiesbaden, Germany. This was Peyman's first holiday in 7 years. I would say it was about time. Take a look at Peyman's website. The building he is in is over 200 years old. They are going to be in Mexico for 2 weeks. From here they are off to Cancun for a week. We had a great time at the bar with our friends. Nothing like having cocktails with friends in paradise. Cheers!
Just Another Week in Paradise Day 7
Today was another awesome day. After our great breakfast Laura and I went down and rented a wave runner. Talk about an incredible experience. Nothing like riding up and down the crystal blue waters jumping the waves. After our fun ride we headed back to the pool. Our friends we met day one, from San Antonio, Carlos and Diva were hanging out too. They were there celebrating their 37th anniversary. Later that afternoon Laura and I took a snorkeling excursion out on the Fury. It is a big catamaran that takes you out to a couple of places to snorkel. We saw all kinds of colorful fish, stingray and baracudda. After snorkeling they served cocktails on the way back to the resort. Aaahh yes...nothing sucks about that whole experience. It was incredible. We ended the evening at Vista Del Mar for dinner and then back to Sabor to the outdoor bar. Cheers!
